RBG Co-Directors/Producers on Their Groundbreaking Subject – Part I
Ruth Bader Ginsburg – the Brooklyn-born, 85-year-old grandmother of four who became the second female to be appointed as a Supreme Court justice in 1993 – has been having a pop-cultural moment since 2015 or so. That’s when the liberal-leaning Harvard grad was cheekily dubbed The Notorious RBG (a play on the late rapper Biggie Smalls, a.k.a. The Notorious BIG) by a pair of young female writers who saluted this petite powerhouse’s stealthy sense of bad-assery in book form. RBG T-shirts,...
Tully‘s Production Designer Anastasia Masaro on Finding Magic in Life’s Mess
It’s been seven years since Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody, the creative forces behind Juno and Young Adult, last collaborated. Now, with Tully, the pair close out a thematic trilogy of sorts – stories that have, at least in some way, been autobiographical for the pair of creatives. “They have this kind of connective tissue between all of them,” Reitman said at the New York premiere of the film...
New Ant-Man and the Wasp Poster & Images Highlights Hope van Dyne’s Central Role
Riding high after Avengers: Infinity War’s historic opening weekend, Marvel Studios would be forgiven for basking in the glory of the mega blockbuster for a few days. Yet when you have as many movies on your slate as they do (there’s a reason they call it the Marvel Cinematic Universe—it’s ever expanding), you’re always multitasking. Hence, a few new images and a new poster for Peyton Reed’s sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp...
New Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom TV Spot Proves a Scared Dinosaur is Extra Dangerous
The last trailer for J.A. Bayona’s Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom offered a welcome jolt of horror. Bayona has crafted some truly scary films (like 2007’s The Orphanage) as well as some gorgeously rendered stories (like 2016’s A Monster Calls). With Fallen Kingdom, Bayona is working on his largest canvass yet, and from what we’ve seen he’s taken the second installment in the proposed new trilogy into darker,...
Could This Deadpool 2 Cameo Lead to Something More?
Deadpool 2 is just weeks away, so the Merc with the Mouth is making the press rounds. We knew we would see a lot of him around town stirring up trouble. The last place we expected him to end up, however, was in Hugh Jackman’s bed. Well, there is video evidence that happened and our curiosity outweighs our jealousy. What are those two doing together?
The Logan star appeared to be attempting to film a birthday video message when the surprise guest burst into lyrics from Annie...
Avengers: Infinity War Just Had the Biggest Opening Weekend of All-Time
There was never any question that Avengers: Infinity War was going to be a smash. None. The question was always whether or not it would be a record-setting smash. Following in the footsteps of the now historic Black Panther gave the question a new quality of fraternal competition—could it be as big as Black Panther? Well, the answer appears to be yes—the Russo Brothers’ Infinity War took in a record-smashing $630 million global haul,...
Lots of New Footage in This Solo: A Star Wars Story Featurette
How does one become Han Solo? That’s the story we’ll be getting when Ron Howard’s Solo: A Star Wars Story premieres, and its the question explored in this great new featurette Disney released yesterday. What might surprise you is just how different a the galaxy looks in Solo, and just how much the young Han was shaped by the most powerful force in his world at that time-the Empire.
A pair of dice (that end up becoming a big prop in The Last Jedi) dangling from the windshield of a dusty old speeder,...
Tilda Swinton and Hugh Laurie Join Star-Studded David Copperfield Cast
Charles Dickens’ favorite novel is getting a modern twist in The Personal History of David Copperfield. Armando Iannucci (Veep, The Death of Stalin) will be directing the contemporary retelling and his cast is beginning to blossom. According to Variety, Tilda Swinton (Doctor Strange, The Grand Budapest Hotel) and Hugh Laurie (House, Tomorrowland) have joined the cast. Dev Patel was previously announced in the starring role of David Copperfield...
Here’s Your Final Batch of Brand New Avengers: Infinity War Photos
It’s here. No more waiting. No more build up. No more speculation. After a decade’s worth of interconnected movies in the insanely ambitious, massively successful Marvel Cinematic Universe, the biggest film in their history has finally arrived—Avengers: Infinity War is here. We’ve shared with you the glowing reviews, and have been tracking the build-up by tracking trailers, teasers, TV spots, photos and posters...
Director Sebastian Lelio on Capturing Forbidden Love in his Urgent new Film Disobedience
Director Sebastian Lelio has had quite the exciting past few months. Lelio’s last film, A Fantastic Woman, about a transgender woman whose partner tragically dies, swept the awards circuit. It won 17 awards including the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film—which was the first Chilean film to do so. Right now, there’s no stopping Lelio and his work.
In theaters today, Lelio is tackling another story about women’s interior lives. Disobedience,...
The Synopsis for Shane Black’s The Predator is Finally Here
Fox gave the crowd at CinemaCon, among other treats, a glimpse at the synopsis for Shane Black’s upcoming The Predator. The last bit of information we had for Black’s highly anticipated humans-v-aliens actioner was way back last November, when one of the film’s stars, Thomas Jane, offered a bit of information about the plot. The most intriguing thing we learned from Jane was that the film’s heroes, much like the 1987 original, would be soldiers,...
Sequel Synopsis: A Quiet Place and Cloverfield Scare Up More Films
People often talk about the superhero dominance in theaters right now. While it is valid to say we’re seeing some of the best comic movies ever, horror is also having a moment. Cerebral thrillers from Get Out to A Quiet Place are redefining the genre, and audiences are rewarding these risk-taking filmmakers. We are unbelievably pumped for Laurie Storde and Michael Myers to meet face to mask again this Halloween. Now,...
The Long Walk Will Be the Next in a Long Line of Stephen King Adaptations
More! Stephen!! King!!! Obviously, Andy Muschetti’s It led the pack for this most recent King revival (pun intended), and now the floodgates have opened. Netflix subsequently released Gerald’s Game and 1922, Mr. Mercedes came to the small screen, The Dark Tower finally made it’s long awaited onscreen debut last year, Jason Clarke is set to star in a reboot of Pet Sematary, and James Wan earlier this week locked down a deal to produce Tommyknockers...
New Deadpool 2 IMAX Promo Says Go Big or Go Home
Yesterday we shared Deadpool 2‘s Lisa Frank inspired IMAX poster, and now a new IMAX promo has arrived to remind viewers that when it comes to seeing Deadpool in the theater, size does matter.
Like nearly all of the Deadpool promos since the first film bowed, and broke records, in February of 2016, the Merc with the Mouth (Ryan Reynolds) is addressing you directly. “Here’s what I look like on a pathetic regular screen…”...
Watch The Avengers: Infinity War do the Rounds On Late Night
If you were channel surfing last night, you were in for a treat. You had nearly the whole cast of Avengers: Infinity War delighting fans, singing songs, answers (very often incorrectly) Avenger– centric questions, and, in the process, promoting their colossal ensemble film on Fallon, Kimmel and MTV News. Let’s take a brief tour from show to show and see what our Avengers friends were up to.
Over on The Tonight Show, ...
New Solo: A Star Wars Story Photos & Posters Include Jon Favreau’s Alien Character Rio
If people often tell you to ‘get with the times’ because you still have posters of Han Solo hanging in your bedroom, here is your brand-spanking new update. It’s time to swap out those Harrison Ford antiques (and carefully store them in a dry and temperate location) and plaster these new Alden Ehrenreich gems on your wall. News broke yesterday that Ehrenreich has signed onto at least three films as the smuggler, so it will be a decent investment...
Thanos Hopes Survivors Remember Their Fallen Heroes in Dark Avengers: Infinity War Spot
The reviews are in. The final TV spots are being released. The premiere is in mere hours. All that’s left for you to do at this point is actually go see Avengers: Infinity War. Well, not all. Take this new TV spot you can watch, with new dialogue and some new footage centered around Thanos (Josh Brolin), the film’s most significant character.
Yup, that’s right, while you’re not going to out to wit,...
Watch Zazie Beetz as the “Lucky” Domino Take on Cable in New Deadpool 2 Clip
We shared this adorable Deadpool 2 IMAX poster earlier today, but now its time to show you some footage from the actual film, focused on Zazie Beetz’s mutant assassin Domino—and its glorious. Thanks to a partnership between T-Mobile and Fox, T-Mobile CEO John Legere got his hands on the clip, which he promptly shared on his Twitter feed. The half a minute worth of action is centered on Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and Weasel (TJ Miller) interviewing potential candidates to join the X-Force,...
New Deadpool 2 IMAX Poster Highlights How Its Infinity War‘s Near Polar Opposite
While we’re all understandably talking about Avengers: Infinity War, there’s another smaller, quieter, more polite superhero movie coming out in a few weeks. Okay, Deadpool 2 is hardly quiet (not when your protagonist’s nickname is the Merc with the Mouth), and it sure as heck isn’t more polite. What Deadpool 2 is, however, is the type of superhero franchise that can release an IMAX poster inspired by Lisa Frank,...
Avengers: Infinity War Review Roundup: A Superhero Space-Opera That’ll Leave You Stunned
The reviews for Avengers: Infinity War are here, and they speak to a film that lives up to the hype. And not just any amount of hype, but ten-years-in-the-making Marvel-sized hype. That alone should get you excited to see this epic, but we’re pretty sure this spoiler free review roundup will nudge anyone else who still might be on the fence.
“Making good on Nick Fury’s promise from 10 years ago in a manner that was nigh-unimaginable at the time,...
